Benefits of technology

[0012]In a further embodiment, the triggering condition is one or more of a system configuration change, a predetermined amount of change in operating temperature, abnormal termination in a previous operation, a predetermined consecutive number of booting operations without testing the volatile memory device. The system configuration change is any change of the serial numbers of the processor, the board and the volatile memory device at a current booting operation from those stored in the nonvolatile memory device.

Problems solved by technology

The increase in complexity of information handling systems has resulted in corresponding increase of a booting time for the information handling systems.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]Various example embodiments will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some example embodiments are shown. The present inventive concept may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the example embodiments set forth herein. In the drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

[0033]It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being “on,”“connected to” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it can be directly on, connected or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on,”“directly connected to” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. Like numerals refer to like elements throughout. As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all co...

Abstract

A method of booting an information handling system including a volatile memory device to be selectively tested during a booting operation, the method comprising a step of reading current system configuration information from the information handling system, a step of comparing the current system configuration information with corresponding prestored system configuration information in a nonvolatile memory device, and a step of selectively performing a test for the volatile memory device according to a result of the comparison.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This U.S. non-provisional application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Korean Patent Application No. 2011-0007119 filed on Jan. 25, 2011 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002]The present inventive concept relates to methods of booting information handling systems and information handling systems performing the same. More particularly, the present inventive concept relates to reduction of a booting time by selectively testing a volatile memory system in an information handling system.DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART [0003]The increase in complexity of information handling systems has resulted in corresponding increase of a booting time for the information handling systems. To the contrary, customers to information handling systems have demanded for information handling systems that they can activate and use as s...
